Book borrowing back in the Bay

Porirua Libraries are pleased to announce that the new
Titahi Bay Library opens next week.

The library opens on Monday 9 December in the old Plunket
building on Whitehouse Road, says branch librarian Shamila Gurr.

“Titahi Bay locals will have seen work underway in recent
weeks,“ she says.

“Although it is small, we think it’s perfectly formed.

“We plan to keep library stock moving so that material stays
fresh and new for users, and we are very keen to hear suggestions from Titahi
Bay residents on what they’d like to see in their collection.”

The library is trialling Saturday opening hours, from 10am
to 1pm.

“We’d like to offer locals the chance to use their library
during the weekend, given that many families are away from home during week
days,” Ms Gurr says.

“The trial ends on 30 June 2020 and will continue only if it
proves popular – so people are encouraged to vote with their feet if they want
Saturday hours!”

Preschool story times and junior craft sessions are two of
the regular planned programmes for the new library.

Porirua Libraries would like to hear any ideas for other
library programmes.

“Adult colouring in? Guided meditation? Book clubs? All
suggestions and comments are gratefully received, as we’d like our new library
to belong to everyone in the community.”
